Bandai Namco’s Tamashii Nations has announced that the next figure in its SH MonsterArts line is the Red-Eyes Black Dragon from Yu-Gi-Oh. There is no date for pre-orders or release, though Tamashii Nations plans to release more details at Jump Festa 2024, to be held in December of this year.
While not as iconic as the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, the Red-Eyes Black Dragon will be familiar to fans of the original Yu-Gi-Oh anime as the trump card of Joey Wheeler/Katsuya Jonouchi. Details for the SH MonsterArts model are scarce, but from the promo photos, it is likely that some parts, like the neck and arms, may be articulated.

There is currently no release date for the SH MonsterArts Yu-Gi-Oh Red-Eyes Black Dragon. More details are expected to be released at Jump Festa 2024 which will begin on December 16, 2023.
